The were part is the key here, currently churches have more opportunity to be open (at least in bay area), so that part does not make sense.

- Lammy 6y agoIf one type of church can be open then why not the other? I acknowledge the risk and wouldn't attend either, but the double standard seems apparent to me.
- cma 6y agoIt isn’t about anyone’s individual risk, but the risk to the entire community, including nonmembers.
- Lammy 6y agoI think the isolation is a risk to the community too. We have to allow people some social contact. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/05/26/americans-with-depression-anxiety-pandemic/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/05/26/americans-w...
- kmonsen 6y agoCannabis is not in any way a church or recognized as a sincere held religious belief by the supreme court I believe if that is what you mean.
- Lammy 6y agoNope, they don't recognize it as anything except a Schedule 1 substance. That's why it's weird that the weed shops are open but we're in here arguing about how those silly religious people should stay home. As for the religion of cannabis, there's community, shared culture, ritual consumption of a specially-prepared substance, believers say how much it improves their life, etc. I even used to buy weed from here: http://coachellavalley.church/ http://coachellavalley.church/
